Glossy, black, white, and grey illustrated dust jacket. First Edition "Louis Simpson, one of our most eminent contemporary American poets, is also widely known for his prose. In Selected Prose, we see Simpson as memoirist, novelist, correspondent, and literary critic. Collected here are excerpts from his critically acclaimed works: the autobiographical North of Jamaica, the novel Riverside Drive, and his critical studies Three on the Tower and A Revolution in Taste. Selected Prose also includes writing that has never before been published: a remarkable group of letters written by Simpson during the Second World War when he served in the U.S. Army: and a delightful and provocative series of 'Entries' that show the genesis of the poet's thought" [from the dust jacket]. Louis Simpson (1923-2012) was born in Jamaica, but moved to the United States when he was 17 years old, earned a Ph.D. at Columbia University, then taught at several universities. A prolific author, Simpson won a Pulitzer Prize, the Prix de Rome, the Columbia Medal for Excellence, the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award, and was a finalist for the prestigious Griffin International Poetry Award.
